Due to Mateo’s unexpected illness and hospitalization, our expenses just shot up several notches higher. This coupled with the fact that I am always late for work trying to balance baby duties, house chores, and work compounds our problem. With my deductions from lates equalling that of an absence or 2, my paycheck is considerably reduced. Huhu!Moreover, our groceries are not what they used to be. What used to be a P1,500 grocery trip for 2 weeks has now climbed up to almost P2,500 with the inclusion of Mateo’s milk and diapers. (A kilo of milk lasts him only 2 weeks even when alternated with breastfeeding. He’s a real milk monster.) And yesterday, our groceries even reached a record high P3,800. Huhuhu! This happened because we finally bought him a stroller. We couldn’t carry him anymore because our arms are giving out from his weight. We couldn’t finish our grocery-shopping with him in our arms so there… we bought one. (just when we thought our expenses couldn’t get any worse)

Well you know what they say. When the going gets tough… buy a stroller!!!
